Contrary to what you have probably come to believe, as much as 80 percent of traffic from smartphones in the U.S do not travel over the cellular network. Instead, they travel over Wi-Fi. This is one of the things that have made internet service providers such as Xfinity very popular.

Xfinity is an Internet Service provider which is a part of the Comcast Cable company. It delivers many services that it offers including its data plans and packages which have been placed among the fastest and most efficient that you can get in the already crowded ISP market.

Xfinity WiFi

in 2017, the service provider introduced the Xfinity Mobile which it introduced to provide wireless services to mobile phones. This WiFi service utilizes the 4G LTE network and also Comcast’s 16 million Wi-Fi hotspots in order to deliver a fast and reliable connection to phone users.

Beyond the efficiency and speed of the Wifi, it is also cheap and flexible with two different options; the pay-as-you-go option and the unlimited plan which can be set on up to five lines.

Plans and Data Usage

While the ISP has many data packages that are good, the Terabyte Internet Data Usage Plan is probably one of the best plans for people who use too much data. With this plan, you get as much as a terabyte of internet data for each month. This plan will see you pay an additional $10 for each 50GB added to your account. Nonetheless, you will not exceed $200 each month even if you go above a terabyte. For the first two months, you exceed a terabyte, you will not be charged.

Interestingly, because this plan is for those who use up to a terabyte or even more, most other customers will not be affected by it. Here are other plans:

Performance Pro: This plan is only for internet and it delivers a download speed of as much as 150 Mbps and it allows for access to millions of WiFi hotspots. It starts at $54.99 per month for the first 12 months.

X1 Starter Double Play: This plan comes with both internet and TV services. At $79.99 per month for the first 12 months, you get internet download speed of up to 150 Mbps and access to many WiFi hotspots. Also, you have access to more than 140 digital channels.

Starter XF Triple Play: With internet, voice, and TV packages, this starts at $89.99 each month for the first 12 months. Just like the other plans, it has a download speed of up to 150 Mbps. You have access to over 140 digital channels and unlimited national calls and text.

In addition to the above, there are also other internet standalone plans such as:

Performance Starter: This has a download speed of 15 Mbps and an upload speed of 2 Mbps. It costs 29.99 for the first 12 months.

Xfinity On Demand

Beyond the internet services, there is also the On Demand services which involve providing video-on-demand services to customers. Through this, you get to have access to programs based on your request rather than generally scheduled broadcast that is made to all subscribers to its cable services.

Among other things that this offers is the control you get over what programs you watch and what you pay for.
